Facebook accessed from an unfamiliar location? - Miranda - 04-30-2013 04:14 PM

Today when I tried to access my Facebook from my home computer (usual location), it said my account was accessed from NIGERIA?? Should I be really worried? Was I really hacked? I just deleted my account for good.

You should absolutely be worried - either you fell for a phishing scam, you have a virus or your computer was hacked. Run a Virus Scan right away, then change your password for any other accounts you feel may have been compromised. If you are one of those people who use the same password for your computer login, email, facebook, paypal, Ebay, internet banking, etc then you could be in real trouble.
